One From The Ward...
...well not quite!
Baby Thomas Arthur (or Arthur Thomas as we are now vacillating over the name...) was successfully brought forth into the world at 10.41 this morning: 7lb 3.5 oz and as cute as a button.
He had a good feed and then settled down to sleep for much of the afternoon.
Karen is doing well though is incredibly sore and tired and the edge has been taken off her senses by various painkillers.
We're both, however, incredibly happy.
The whole thing happened so unbelievably quickly I still can't get over it. I won't yabber too much about it here right now as I am shattered and need to get Ben sorted out foodwise... just wanted to thank you all, my lovely blog readers, for your warm wishes and support over the last few months. Both Karen and I have really appreciated it and it has made such a huge difference.
Photos will, I promise, follow shortly...
